* clarify absPathFromGravatar Joey Hess2016-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | The repo path is typically relative, not absolute, so providing it to absPathFrom doesn't yield an absolute path. This is not a bug, just unclear documentation. Indeed, there seem to be no reason to simplifyPath here, which absPathFrom does, so instead just combine the repo path and the TopFilePath. Also, removed an export of the TopFilePath constructor; asTopFilePath is provided to construct one as-is.
* automatic conflict resolution for v6 unlocked filesGravatar Joey Hess2015-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several tricky parts: * When the conflict is just between the same key being locked and unlocked, the unlocked version wins, and the file is not renamed in this case. * Need to update associated file map when conflict resolution renames an unlocked file. * git merge runs the smudge filter on the conflicting file, and actually overwrites the file with the same content it had before, and so invalidates its inode cache. This makes it difficult to know when it's safe to remove such files as conflict cruft, without going so far as to compare their entire contents. Dealt with this by preventing the smudge filter from populating the file when a merge is run. However, that also prevents the smudge filter being run for non-conflicting files, so eg moving a file won't put its new content into place. * Ideally, if a merge or a merge conflict resolution renames an unlocked file, the file in the work tree can just be moved, rather than copying the content to a new worktree file. This is attempted to be done in merge conflict resolution, but due to git merge's behavior of running smudge filters, what actually seems to happen is the old worktree file with the content is deleted and rewritten as a pointer file, so doesn't get reused. So, this is probably not as efficient as it optimally could be. If that becomes a problem, could look into running the merge in a separate worktree and updating the real worktree more efficiently, similarly to the direct mode merge. However, the direct mode merge had a lot of bugs, and I'd rather not use that more error-prone method unless really needed.

* optimise read and write for Keys database (untested)Gravatar Joey Hess2015-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Writes are optimised by queueing up multiple writes when possible. The queue is flushed after the Annex monad action finishes. That makes it happen on program termination, and also whenever a nested Annex monad action finishes. Reads are optimised by checking once (per AnnexState) if the database exists. If the database doesn't exist yet, all reads return mempty. Reads also cause queued writes to be flushed, so reads will always be consistent with writes (as long as they're made inside the same Annex monad). A future optimisation path would be to determine when that's not necessary, which is probably most of the time, and avoid flushing unncessarily. Design notes for this commit: - separate reads from writes - reuse a handle which is left open until program exit or until the MVar goes out of scope (and autoclosed then) - writes are queued - queue is flushed periodically - immediate queue flush before any read - auto-flush queue when database handle is garbage collected - flush queue on exit from Annex monad (Note that this may happen repeatedly for a single database connection; or a connection may be reused for multiple Annex monad actions, possibly even concurrent ones.) - if database does not exist (or is empty) the handle is not opened by reads; reads instead return empty results - writes open the handle if it was not open previously

Other calls to withTmpDir didn't leak any potentially private data, but repair clones the git repository to a temp directory which is made using the user's umask. Thus, it might expose a git repo that is otherwise locked down. * Fix potential denial of service attack when creating temp dirs. Since withTmpDir used easily predictable temporary directory names, an attacker could create foo.0, foo.1, etc and as long as it managed to keep ahead of it, could prevent it from ever returning. I'd rate this as a low utility DOS attack. Most attackers in a position to do this could just fill up the disk /tmp is on to prevent anything from writing temp files. And few parts of git-annex use withTmpDir anyway, so DOS potential is quite low. Examined all callers of withTmpDir and satisfied myself that switching to mkdtmp and so getting a mode 700 temp dir wouldn't break any of them. Note that withTmpDirIn continues to not force temp dir to 700. But it's only used for temp directories inside .git/annex/wherever/ so that is not a problem. Also re-audited all other uses of temp files and dirs in git-annex.
* | use InodeCache when dropping a key to see if a pointer file can be safely resetGravatar Joey Hess2015-12-09
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Keys database can hold multiple inode caches for a given key. One for the annex object, and one for each pointer file, which may not be hard linked to it. Inode caches for a key are recorded when its content is added to the annex, but only if it has known pointer files. This is to avoid the overhead of maintaining the database when not needed. When the smudge filter outputs a file's content, the inode cache is not updated, because git's smudge interface doesn't let us write the file. So, dropping will fall back to doing an expensive verification then. Ideally, git's interface would be improved, and then the inode cache could be updated then too.

* Display progress meter in -J mode when copying from a local git repo, to a ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2015-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | local git repo, and from a remote git repo. Had everything available, just didn't combine the progress meter with the other places progress is sent to update it. (And to a remote repo already did show progress.) Most special remotes should already display progress meters with -J, same as without it. One exception to this is the web, since it relies on wget/curl progress display without -J. Still todo..

* clean up side lock files when we're done with themGravatar Joey Hess2015-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | There's a potential race, but it's detected and just results in the other process failing to take the side lock, so possibly retrying one second later on. The race window is quite narrow so the extra delay is minor. Left the side lock files mode 666 because an interruption can leave a side lock file created by another user for a shared repository. When this happens, the non-owning user can't delete it (+t) but can still lock it, and so the code falls back to acting as it did before this commit.
